The Flower of Beyond
By palenoble
Be you a rose;
I have yet to find out which I dread or adore most.
Your petals of cobweb, delicate and fragile,
a soft ethereal feather,
your mind that's so agile,
your leaves of nether?
Or is it the unintentional sharpness of your thorns?
Nonetheless, I DO love you far beyond my pathetic words

As all of us need the thorns to balance the beauty of a rose...such balance allows us to maintain our sanity...:) Nice work. Snake

I too had thought there was no originality left in the comparison of love and roses, but you've trumped it, splendidly, I might add.

This was written for someone who is in many ways special to me. Her name means 'flower' in her language. The only reason I picked the rose is that I needed the thorns :)

This is an unusual style, but in a good way. That's interesting, because usually comparing a love to a rose is cliche but here it is not. The last two lines are lovely and very relatable, which contrast to the complex lines before them. The last line especially was great; it reflects how language will fail us everytime when w wish to convey our thoughts and feelings (especialy in english!) But ironically, we still try everytime :)
